As the result of gifts supporting our efforts in internationalization, the Lampert Institute for Civic and Global Affairs is proud to support faculty scholarship in areas that relate to the Institute’s broad mission. Please join us in congratulating the following faculty members for having been awarded the 2016 Lampert Faculty Scholarship to help support their research over the coming months.

On January 28th, in the Ho Science Center atrium, the Lampert Institute Fellows in Public Affairs recipients presented their research to interested students and faculty via poster presentations.

The fellowship recipients each gave a five to ten minute talk in front of their posters, discussing their research and experience doing work around the world. Some of the topics included Pediatric HIV and Mental Health in Kenya (Katrina Bennett ’16), Instances of Interaction between Casinos and Schools in Las Vegas (Bobae Kang ’16), and Ethnic Cleansing during the Bosnian War (Sara Sirota ’16).
